Reading low reviews of a book I loved and thought highly of

Mars Volta & Deftones were in my area months ago. I always miss things because I don’t pay attention. I missed Diamond Cafe too.

Strange Pictures by Uketsu which was translated into English this year! It was fun. Creepypasta in book form

I like some ambience or silence. I’ll put on instrumental music to match the vibe of the book, or just rain/thunder. Other people’s noise I find more challenging to read around.

#onthisday in 1820, the Essex whaling ship was sunk by a sperm whale 2,000 miles from land. The story inspired Melville; Nathaniel Philbrick's prize winning non-fiction account, In the Heart of the Sea, was adapted by Ron Howard 10 years ago. Below, a news account.

Lithograph illustration of ship being rammed by a whale. Text below is "THE ESSEX STRUCK BY A WHALE." "She dashed her head against the ship's side and so broke it in that the vessel filled rapidly."

Decided I am going to read Les Misérables by Victor Hugo for the first time beginning January 1st, 2026. A chapter a day, 365 chapters, making it a year long read! Is anyone else out there doing this or down to do this? Are there any groups? I'm very excited!!

He was a pure manipulator; his brain, if he had ever had one, must have early oozed along into the muscles of his fingers.

47 pages. This book is so, so funny. The part where he's arguing with the policeman I was visualizing it like the video of the "Democracy Manifest" guy 😭 Just so self-important. It's a riot so far

Read this! Really creeped me out. I didn't know much about The Years of Lead in Italy, or really of Turin. Very interesting, I'll be thinking about it for a while. The themes of paranoia, surveillance, the collective oversharing/tension but still so lonely... all applicable today. #booksky 📚💙 💙📚

Would you rather be sucked into a book or have your favorite character transported to our world?

Which book or character would you choose?
